- As the Winter Olympics takes place in Beijing, visiting athletes have been warned not to speak out against China’s human rights abuses.
From Ecuador to Uganda, China’s surveillance technology has gone global.
In this episode of System Error, we examine how these new tools have made spying easier for both dictatorships and democracies.

Pegasus: The World's Most Terrifying Spyware - ruclips.net/video/QX7X4Ywuotc/видео.html
@High Level there's this lovely place called a mental home and I think you should check yourself in for a permanent vacation stay. Gracias.
When you going to do a video on the US NSA surveillance state that literally monitors every person in the US and most peoples around the world?? Or you just going to keep pushing more anti China war propaganda?
The footage in the first few seconds of this video is not actually from Xinjiang. I've seen this debunked claim on reddit and stuff but I'm surprised to see it on a news site that takes itself seriously. Could you correct this?
@@farzanamughal5933 where's the footage from?
@@farzanamughal5933 it's all propaganda! It's not even believable but yet people do. These claims have been debunked but people just believe it because it comes from these "reliable sources".
“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” -Snowden
Brilliant 👏
If you have nothing to say, your not human because your brain neither wants or needs, or desires.
This stuff can be used for good only problem is most people are not good, especially ones with power.
I think if ur home remains your sanctuary then anything else is like this then I think it's fine for example in Australia u are allowed to be racist in the privacy of your home but u cant in public. Alot of crimes have been discovered and perpetrators arrested, an interesting example in the UK a man was found to be stabbing cats and was caught on camera a horrible crime in itself what if it had escalated and he decided it was time to kill people? the biggest issue in my experience is the huge amounts of data that has to be crawled through by an analyst so its reactive rather than proactive in terms of finding criminal activity. The con would be is the government uses it against you or trys to discredit you and that happens a lot in any government form. The question is does the good outweigh the bad? I think it does to a degree.
@@cengizali5361 yea and various Chinese empires have controlled Mancu, Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Vietnam over the years. Just because they controlled a bit of land for a bit of time, doesn’t mean that it’s theirs. If that was the case, then Hong Kong will still be British
All of a sudden, people who consciously live off the grid don't seem paranoid or crazy anymore
I prefer China way of monitoring using the CCTV cameras than the sneaky way of spying on citizens like USA and many European countries .
@@urbandiscipline8858 did you watch the video? China does ALL the above.
@@rukus9585 What he was trying to say is that at least China is honest about it , they don't deny it meanwhile US ........
@@johnssmith4005 because CN controls medias, public opinions, jurisdiction...etc. by a single party.
they don't need to worry about oppositions in the country, and they can just ignore oppositions abroad. The Only thing they need to do is to claim "it is in the public interest".
Every government wants control, they are nothing different.
The problem is that living off the grid doesn't spare you, and isolates you from participating in and influencing society. It's a walkover.
Everyone is about 15 years too late.
If the public knows about all this, imagine how far they’ve actually gone.
Yep. Funny enough I was explaining this to my classmates when I was 14. I'm really dumb in many aspects but that was something I understood really well early on. It came from my way of thinking about the world where I wonder why things are how they are and why things are where they are. I'd look at surveillance cameras and wonder who was on the other side looking at me. I was in my freshman year of highschool at the time. The early web was really cool because the only incentive people had to put information on there was be nerdy and share it. So.. I could trust a lot of things about the world. I knew 2008 was coming in 2006. That was a really bizarre experience. I of course knew all about the NSA. I remember the very day 9/11 happened. What did except all this would come to?
I was based in the UAE around 2010 and filmed many closed-door meetings for HUAWEI during that time. It was all about future (which is now) government-level surveillance technologies. There were often delegates from the Middle East and African countries attending those meetings. They were demonstrating technologies like VPN tracing, face recognition, biometric data analysis. I had to stop working with them after realizing what was all that about. It's chilling to see many of those have become reality now.
Nah they suck bro
Canada has been doing in its airports. And it has admitted it.
Let’s just say, “we the people” can stop their plans no matter how much the “we the people” tries, especially they👁know how the brain works and how to manipulate by indoctrination and brainwashing and us e the “we the people” against each other, perfect example BLM and Antifa and everything are right under “we the people” noses but still the “we the people” refuse to believe and ignore the truth.
I love how this episode makes it appear as if the us gov is entirely against this when they literally have an entire agency dedicated to doing this to their own citizens. Even passed a law to do it. Just completely ignored that.
Can you elaborate a little
Yeah instead of talking all that show us the law and the bill
It’s hilarious really
everything Snowden revealed. Western democracies are spying on their own citizens, or spying on their neighbor countries on behalf of those governments.
You can thank in part that traitor and NSA LIAR General James Clapper. We are doomed. Zero liberty.
1984 wasn't a fiction book, it was a future documentary.
...and it seems like a good chunk of the US think it's a great idea. I've never seen more calls for censorship or calls for punitive actions.
so true bestie
@@blurglide yep, major US parties are censoring their own members for having views that don’t agree with their own.
Science fiction has a way of predicting the future... Unlike fantasy... One day the idea of going to the moon was science fiction, or even flight. I see George Orwells future making more sense after a total collapse of society OR how the relationship between earth and its colonies may go if we get to populate the galaxy...
I hated that book and especially hated that I HAD to read it, for school. But I remember thinking it was a good thing that everyone is made to read that book as now there's no way the people would ever allow something like that to happen!
Imagine my surprise...
Social media in itself has evolved into nothing more than a monitoring / surveillance system.
My only question: is it more lucrative as an advertising platform, or a blackmail tool that is capable of compromising any politician?
Agreed, the fact that we are being pushed personalized contents anywhere we look IS an evidence that we are already being surveilled.
Anyone capable of fetching those data can easily gain even more personal information about us........
Right… The ones who designed it weren’t sitting there thinking, how can Google or search engines serve the people… The whole time it was designed to serve them, do you get it now… It was done in reverse under your nose intentionally
Both are evil in my opinion. The steeping stone to social media being used to spread propaganda was Yelp. Companies started paying for fake reviews. It wasn't long before they figured out they could do alot more. It's actually pretty scary. We need some type of data collection laws asap.
They do far more than this China we shouldn't allow them anything they don't allow us.
Like buying property.
Social media has done more harm than good (although the good is substantial as well)
The fact that we get free documentaries on RUclips by VICE News is truly a gift. 👍
Mind control
@@g4vdero no
Yee because you are the real product
Keep talking like that theyll realize youre actually dumb enough to pay for it.
@fzkjut explain why you think that
My bosses at my work record all of their employees conversations and activities during all hours. They use this to discipline their employees and find out if people are sharing discontented views on the place I work for. I've seen my coworkers reprimanded for precieved issues that they have been recorded doing and saying when no managers are in the building. One of my coworkers who works with children was reprimanded for not doing her job when in actuality she was just not in view of the cameras when she took the children outside for activities which is a completely normal thing for her to do in her job. Theres a certain Orwellian feeling everytime I enter work even when I am not on the clock. Furthermore, the utter incompetence of the people using the cameras to spy on their employees is very concerning. The truth of the matter is that a lot of the employees are disgruntled with their employers and share those opinions when taking breaks and this has been my experience with every job I've ever had. The difference is is that they are listening. Its oppressive and should be illegal. They are not the government but it is still a violation of our right to free speech. "Oh you dont like it , quit."? Well, most of us need our jobs and are barely hanging on as it is and have no other options as we live in a small town. If you read this and support what I'm saying give a like and tell me how I can get this to stop. I'm thinking full staff walkout in full view of the surveillance equipment.
You should post this to r/antiwork. It's exactly what the subreddit is for
@@wafflegirl1863 yep, And he also needs to .... UNIONISE!!!!!
If only we could unionize.. most of the people who work there are just out of high school and college And those that aren't like myself are too afraid to lose their jobs to take action. The history of making complaints at my work is that if you step up you get manipulated in to thinking you're in the wrong, ignored, or treated poorly for challenging authority. I've even been talked to rudely and treated like a truant child for having to take a sick day due to a serious medical condition I have been battling with for years. This was followed by workplace gossip started by my own boss to make me look disingenuous. Furthermore, my coworker has repeatedly been told that her job is "not really that important" and that they are "really doing you a favor" by letting her keep her position. She goes around every day at work at her wits end hoping that they do not decide to fire her. I've told her that they were probably just trying to mess with her head but she is young and doesnt understand how manipulative employers can be to their employees. They do all this and watch our every move making it any extremely oppressive place to work where everyone fears that they will lose their jobs or have their private lives and conversations become public knowledge. I have talked to my boss about my medical condition only to find out the next day the WHOLE STAFF knew every detail of that very private conversation that was made clear to the listener that is was VERY PRIVATE. I'm scared that if my medical condition prevents me from working I will be fired or have my reputation ruined as it is (as I have sai d) a small town and most everyone knows each other.
My previous employers had security cameras all over the office, including several in the break area covering all angles that even made it possible to zoom in on an employees phone screen if they were on break. I would entirely leave the property to make any personal phone calls. They would watch the video feed obsessively to the point they would call the office when they were out of the country to complain about something they saw when in reality they often had no true reason for concern.
There is a weakness to all of these survalience systems, they can be Hacked. Try to find a good hacker to hack into your jobs survalience system and make it maunfution or override. This is the only way you can truly take a stand, or you can quit and try to convince people to join you and make your own company. If you want to do something about this try doing those two things, hopes you see this and it helps you.
Worst part most people think it's doing them a favour.

Americans worship money and worship those with it, they're all millionaires
I do find it ironic that I am watching this on a platform owned by Google. No need to force people here in the US, we sign up for it by not reading the terms of agreement, and even if we do, we still have no choice. At the end of the day it is no different to me.

People only protest or rebel when their bottom line like food and water is threatened and even then its not guaranteed (North Korea) otherwise you can boil them slowly like frogs and they wont even acknowledge they should do something.
No one protested because they're education system has failed them and thst is by design

Nothing is stopping you from deleting RUclips and social media. Get a physical job and live in a small town. You would think farm&ranch are so hard to find in Texas or some other places.
Patt Engaging with government and healthcare requires engagement with the system, no way out, not easily anyway.
Don't use social media if you don't like it. Facebook stock dumped 20% today because their user numbers are down. That's how you get them to change.

For my own, I really doubt that the boycott of the Winter Olympic games in Beijing by the major Western nations is driven by any kind of sensitivity of their governments about the Huighurs condition ; I think it's a power play that is going on : Western firms have underestimated the Chinese in highly advanced technological fields like AI, quantum computers, 5G and so on, and now that they realise they are about to be left behind there is a backlash against China. I am not naive about the surveillance society China is developing at the expense of its own citizens but I think the Western democracies are doing the same, sometimes in a more subtle manner, but sometimes not so ; just think about the many restrictions and controls governments have brought in, in the name of the pandemic...

b. The good thing, atleast the US is a democracy and you are free to criticize, bring into notice the illegalities through a fair, open social/news media. Try that in China, you will disappear in minutes. All that we know about Uighurs and Tibetan crises is despite of China trying to hide them. Imagine what would break out if suddenly China becomes a free world tomorrow. China is a glorified, richer version of North Korea, nothing less.
Come any day, the citizens of the country you just mentioned will prefer to be a citizen in the US rather than China's.

The UN should come up with guidelines on to what extent/limit surveillance is necessary to enable the citizens to be happy and healthy. That limit should not exceed. And UN countries can sign a legally binding treaty on abiding by it.
That's not gonna happen. The people who would be in charge of that WANT us under surveillance.
Useless Nations is controlled by their lobbyist
While this is nice in theory, it's not realistic. What happens when the countries that sign decide to break that treaty? What are the consequences? Nothing. Trade/ economic sanctions? Doesn't work when it's major powers like the US or China. Many countries are reliant on them for trade. Many countries which are part of the UN have already broken plenty of human rights agreements. Nothing happens. It's all for show.

I wrote my thesis about this topic. Narrowed on the digital silk road as that tool but expanded my analysis to encompass other technologies like Smart City and 5G telecommunications alongside syrveillance in its contribution to digital autocracy. Narrowed my analysis to three theoretical frameworks: either it is intentional, a by product of efforts to protect BRI projects, or the resultant of norm transfers that could lead to authoritarianism.
I was based in the UAE around 2010 and filmed many closed-door meetings for HUAWEI during that time. It was all about future (which is now) government-level surveillance technologies.

Chinese Surveillance? These capabilities and systems have been in use by several countries for a while. Yes, the potential for abuses are enormous. Unfortunately, I don't think the fact will change anything anytime soon. Things are just getting more complex. Soon we'll see robots on the streets linked to the same systems.
every europe country using these surveillance system to spy its citizen since the technology exist and vice make sure you dont know about that
Hilariously the tech had been around for a while but Chinese Surveillance is more a testament to centrally planned economies and its infrastructure building rather than its specific intent on tracking. If the US gov could spend as much money as they wanted they'd put cameras everywhere.
@@Furiends Interesting point. Yes, the investment in the infrastructure is key. I just don't appreciate the bias and feeding of bickering with other countries for things many do. This is not productive and only helps feed distrust, lies, hate. Public opinion manipulation. We must do better.
Also, once the other countries are buying these products and are indebted, they run an extremely high risk of having their supposedly top notch security and military systems hacked into. They are running the risk of using against them and overthrowing their country in an unwillingness of surrender, lawlessness, chaos and by leaving the country completely vulnerable and unavailable to function as it once was able to.
Now, this is important, and the future's not looking good. Good job on this one, Vice!
This is getting worse at an increasing pace.
The technology is getting better and cheaper at the same time, the required computing power is getting available and cheaper as well and last but not least smart AI makes this just so many times more powerful.
At the same time AI is evolving at s rapid pace as is the computing power for AI.
In a few years surveiling a 1.4 billion people population will be even easier, cheaper and much more sophisticated as now.
Because of the points above as well as further increasing camera density at increasing camera quality at decreasing camera prices.
so much fear mongering in one comment lmao. are you afraid of going outside too?
The more people who learn how to program the better chance we have against these cynical governments

More worried about American Surveillance tbh
Why
I think someone forgot about Mr Snowden
0:18 where is this from
it’s all about WHY they’re watching in the first place. No one should have to adapt to living this way, just because someone decides they deserve to know other peoples every move. These people don’t have good intentions, this is the most atrocious violation of the most basic human right to live.
have u been to China? brainwashed poor man
If you ask why, the answer is quite simple. Actions have consequences. Look at america, shoving the elderly, pushing down people to subway tracks, stolen goods from cargo train, metal detectors in your schools, robbery (even stealing catalytic converters - what?) and unruly passengers in the past 2 years… in china if you’re involved in unruly behaviors like sitting on others on the train and refuse to move, or if you’re driving recklessly or if you’re defecating in public, that’s a menace to society, it will be difficult to get loan or you will be banned from flying. Whats so wrong about that? The most basic human rights for all chinese (including ever growing minorities such as uighur) is freedom from fear. Fear of getting robbed or of dying of covid for example.
This helps keep people accountable. Unlike in America where you can get mugged and the mugger gets away
@ASTAR at least people in China don’t gotta worry about getting their cars broken into like in USA. Btw I’m Japanese living in Japan. Tokyo has the same surveillance system and look at the crime rate compared to America with no high tech surveillance
@ASTAR you been to San Francisco lately? I hear they got a poop map to help people stay away from poop areas from all the homeless people. And the smash and grab thefts from cars? What’s going on over there? Why do they let people get away with that? And the police are defunded? What about the occupation zone in Seattle. Where a bunch of barbarians ran the police out of their precinct?
Technology is turning the human future into a sci-fi nightmare.
nope
yup
There comes the question;
"WHO WATCHES THE WATCH MAN"???🤨
It’s like the scene in the movie, “Vanilla Sky” when the main character wakes up screaming, “IT’S A NIGHTMARE!! IT’S A NIGHTMARE!!” 😱😱😱
This video was interrupted partway through by a minute+ long ad for security cameras. Their message was so eerily similar to this video that I watched a full 30 seconds before I realized it wasn't part of it.
wtf

One of the few things I agreed with Trump on was his ban on Huawei
Trump got that idea from Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison. we banned Huwai first, We said origins of covid should be investigated, we said human right there are not fair and as a result lost billions of trade with china, we stood up to china!! whilst the rest of the world is just waking up to it. A nation of 23million agains a country of 1.4billion. Now cause of australia the world is really waking up to china.
@@jasonh289 we all know what China is up to, Australia this Australia that tend to forget China will walk over that country, matter of fact under least than two days. USA will be there long after than if a surprise attack occurs? A pump of emp in the major city’s to stop emergency calls to the world , than take over , Australia may be standing up but should be careful
Trump did everything better look at our country a year later after Biden was elected people swear things were bad then but have no fucking clue what they were saying look at how bad our country is getting

I truly think that boycotting China will be so beneficial in the long term. In the run up to the CCP’s 100 year anniversary in less than 30 years, China WILL stretch their tentacles across the globe at an unprecedented rate, and so called free nations WILL follow suit. If we boycott now and stop our reliance on their cheap labour and technology we can ultimately benefit ourselves by keeping manufacturing in country and remain sovereign. I dislike Trump, but he was spot of with regards to Huawei’s 5G use in the west. They want to monitor us. From a country which imprisons and abuses their citizens based on their religion, would you really expect anything else?
You do realize that the economy of the west relies on the cheap labor available in the east? Do you truly think that the big corporations will allow such stuff?
The gaming and movie industry are China's bitches already. 90%+ of the world's medical supplies are produced in China, and probably a massive % of the technical stuff, too. China is also the only (or the dominant) country that refines rare earth minerals, which are needed for our tech.
China is doing some pretty bad stuff, but some of it is already done by western countries, just not as openly. China is just a part of a global problem.
Anyways, the world is too dependent on China atm. They know it, we know it, so nothing will change without a super event.
You do realize CCP's 100 year has already passed, correct?
but i want money
Boycott is biggest lie in human history. When was the last time it actually was successful?
That's pretty rich coming out of USA, look within yourself first before pointing fingers at others
Koh Samui, Thailand, famed for its tourist industry, has state of the art Chinese surveillance everywhere!
Nsa is already doing this. The only thing they don’t have is a large camera network that blankets all cities and towns that they can tap into.
And I got a Chinese company's ad on this video lol 😂
It really makes me sad that this is just now coming to the front of conversation. I started talking about this kind of thing when the Patriot act was signed. Privacy around the world is practically gone and I can't see it changing. Onward to the 22nd century and may the odds be ever in your favor lol.
funny enough, the white conservatives and liberals appalled by this video were probably fine with the patriot act when it was passed.
The only way out is probably making your own spaceship and finding a new planet
Don't worry everyone, we will one day come together and have our time. Be patient, we will figure this out. THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM

Numbers don't mean anything, or china would have had a revolution years since. Big brother has all the cards, and can read yours

@@MichaelSnyder1776 I thought big brother had all the cards...how can you have cards?
Oh, now I understand why there are memes on the internet about a social credit system in China. Kind of messed up to be honest.
As human beings we survived for generations without this type.of surveillance. We don't need it. We have to fight against it. Everyone is equal. No one has a right to exercise control over the lives of others.
For those who have memory problems: Do you remember when the U.S was caught eavesdropping on Angela Merkel and Brazil's President Dilma Rouseff?
I've come to realise that western society already has similar social structures and surveillance. For many services you need a telephone number these days. (2 factor verification) when it comes to having a bank account... That is tied into our government issued IDs. If someone fails to keep their bank account in good order, you become 'red flagged' as per your credit rating. I could go on...
Yeah sure buddy. Everything's the same, except for the Concentration camps. The actual genocide. The harvesting of organs. Covid itself. I could go on...
Like the us border cages? And the nsa global surveillance?
@@MRAB19971 really the border cages? First of all nobody likes that the government keeps children in cages but they are not killing them and harvesting their organs like they do in China. Mentioning the NSA is pointless, what country doesn't have an intelligence agency or two. Typical propaganda tactic, comparing two sad but ultimately different issues. In the u.s., the problem is because of people trying to enter the country. We actually fly them back to their countries. China has people that want to leave but can not. They can't even travel to their neighboring province because their credit score is too low 🙄. Face it. There is less freedom in China than most countries on Earth.
@@MRAB19971 based
I'm specifically talking about the paranoia considering China's social credit score. I never said our societies were the same, I was simply stating how my society in Canada has many ways people are held accountable to a form of 'social credit score'. Here's a few more examples:
=> car insurance is required to drive a vehicle. The vehicle is required to have a VIN number. The cars owner is tracked at all times, and that owner is responsible for any accident. Your insurance rates go up if you have accidents. (Sounds like a capitalist social credit score)
=> When you start a job, you must give them your Social insurance number. This will track your employment history, Canadian pension plan, etc. You must have this to work. If you make more money in a lifetime, you are deemed to have a better retirement.
=> When you travel internationally you have a passport. This passport expires every few years. Unless you make the effort to renew (ie good social standing) than it expires.
* I can honestly think of many example... And this is just for fun. I don't mean to get people upset. I am simply thinking outloud to the RUclips comment thread for fun. If you aren't having fun, don't worry about it. 🖖
PS I never said that China's behaviour was justified in any way.
What are we doing to stop it?
Forever grateful for my parents for immigrating to North America when they were young. They knew about how messed up China is so they escaped. Now my whole family's here (including all my extended family members). I will never claim myself to be Chinese. It's just embarrassing.
"Its built into their homes and they are used to it"
Yep, it sums it all up
Imagine china being the sole superpower
Unlikely with Russia still in the picture, and the only thing that keeps them together is the US. When the US is gone they will duke it out against each other.

Also keep in mind the western tech corporations which have played a large part in developing and selling these systems.
Nothings screams libertarian freemarkets as much as making and selling the systems to control people in a country where you wouldn't be free to do the same things
